BUNNKER HILL — The Bunker Hill Historical Society is the recipient of a $1,000 donation from the Midwest Energy Community Fund.

The funds are designated for a new museum air conditioner and copier machine. Both the museum’s current air conditioner and copier were purchased in the mid-1990s and are needing replacement.

Board members announced the donation at the April annual membership meeting and sincerely thank Midwest Energy for their generous support.

The Bunker Hill Museum is in the former Mt. Zion Lutheran Church, a native limestone building which was built in 1881. The Bunker Hill Museum and the 1875 Forest Hill schoolhouse are open to the public on Sundays 1-4 p .m. from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

Individual appointments to view the museum can be made by calling Board President Crystal Dana at 785-483-0506.
